I JUST finished this manga-style digest last night and it is awesome - and I *HATE* faux manga art. But Jarrett Williams nails the concept and energy of pro wrestling perfectly. Along with The Promotion (which I also read only recently), Super Pro K.O. is possibly the best wrestling-related comic I've ever read.

I'll be talking about this comic in detail in an upcoming podcast.

BELOW is the official guff. Buy it!

Volume 1 - 1st printing. Story and art by Jarrett Williams. Joe Somiano is late to his first match in Super Pro K.O.!, and has no clue what awaits him in the rowdy ring! A seasoned sumo wrestler, a jolly luchador, a flambouyant tag team, suspicious executives, and a drunken Heavyweight Champion all stand between him and the superstardom that is his destiny. If the huge egos, clothesline take-downs, and broken chairs across the head don't squash Joe's dreams, he may just come out on top. But if he's going to take home the champion's belt, he'll need to bring his best moves against the likes of S.P.K.O.! stars Tomahawk Slamson, Yoko No-No, Mr. Awesomeness 2, and many more in this grand slamma jamma event of a graphic novel! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 256 pages, B&W. Cover price $11.99.

I COULDN'T get this to work in the original podcast, so I'll try again as a separate entry. Here's a classic anecdote from Gary Hart regarding Abdullah The Butcher and his notorious unwillingness to do jobs. :)

In which I rail against my own inability to read the comics that I'm buying, especially all these long-running series. How do I get to 16-17 issues of Doom Patrol and Sweet Tooth and still not have read A SINGLE ISSUE??

THE first instalment of What Would Chris Benoit Do? - where I talk about the PWA Australia card I attended on Friday night. Great card from what is probably the best promotion on Australia's east coast. Check out the official website at http://www.pwaaustralia.com.
